7/4

The dated synths sound cool!

It's from the period where he was analog and interesting!!!

I'm a big fan of his films, this is his masterpiece, quite beautiful. But my favorite is Wild At Heart, I wish it would come out on DVD. As well as that 2nd season of Twin Peaks. Google USENET for the David Lynch newsgroups.

Uncle Meat.

Dormant Creem Magazine to Publish Again By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: November 3, 2003 Filed at 2:21 p.m. ET HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) -- When Brian Bowe learned that Creem, a defunct rock magazine he'd read as a child, was making a comeback after 15 years, he sat down and wrote an e-mail to the publisher. As a music fanatic, the 31-year-old Laketown Township resident wanted to work for the magazine in some way. After writing back and forth with Robert Matheu for a while, Bowe sent a few reviews and essays. ``I started writing stuff, and he liked the stuff I was writing,'' Bowe told The Holland Sentinel for a recent story. ``He sent me some copy to edit, and he liked the way I was editing stuff.'' Less than a year later, Matheu asked Bowe, a spokesman for Grand Valley State University, to edit the new Creem. ``When he asked me, I was floored,'' Bowe said. ``I couldn't have been happier. To this day, it just, the very idea, blows my mind. I feel very honored, and I take it very seriously.'' Currently a Web-only publication, Creem is expected be on store shelves in a print edition next spring, Matheu said. Creem began in Detroit in March 1969 and ran monthly until November 1988, when the magazine folded. A revival was launched in the early 1990s, but the publication largely lay dormant until fall 2000, when Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical movie ``Almost Famous'' was released. Crowe wrote for Creem as a teenager under the editing of Lester Bangs, a wild-haired, prolific writer who became synonymous with the publication. Bangs died in 1982. The film renewed interest in Bangs and Creem, and Matheu decided to try to restore luster to the magazine's name. He contacted the owners of the publication rights and obtained permission to bring it back.

I found Infinity used for about $12, about 11 years ago and I like it. But I am a fan of Alice Coltrane and I like her string arrangements. Anybody familiar with the original mix of Illuminations? Alice with a decent sounding Santana, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and others. A real hot date.

Yikes! I don't know if I can handle this......

Probablly not, he's not playing.

But who really cares if the music is good? (Admittedly, that is a big if.) Guy I do.

Whatta hoot!

B.B. was in Dallas Monday night w/Bobby Bland. It was a really good show. I knew he must be on tour. The other guys are dust. Not that there's anything wrong about that.

Where's Albert, B.B. and Freddy???

But Manny's ass cleavage doesn't bother you? He can work at a store like that, brag about buying $300 Brian Eno rarities - but he can't be bothered to buy a belt to hold his fucking pants up. AND the owner doesn't seem to be bothered about it!

A kick ass album. A classic. Right on Brother! I love the way Pat and Ornette play the head to Mob Job together. Such a bluesy cry. And there are sections of Endangered Species that are totally thrilling, when you're in the right mindspace. I have a live show on cassete, I'll try to dig it out and see what it sounds like. I hope it's not wow and flutter hell. Remind me if I don't say anything in the next weeks. Did you ever check out the Pat Metheny Song Book? Kathelin Gray is in the book.

Man, I wore it out when it came out. And it's been a while since I spun it. I've been in a blues/free jazz mode recently and it fits right in.

A kick ass album. A classic.

What hurricane?

Whatta mess! I hope all is well....

When I did a google search for Shatz, I noticed that. I know someone at the Nation.

Isn't this the guy who bashed Zorn in the NY Times a few years ago?

I just returned a few PMs, I hope they went through. I didn't get any error messages.

Thanks for the offer! Musican's Friend is a thought, but I've bought other equipment from them in the past there always seems to be a problem. At the Marketplace at guitarsbyleo there is a Bluesboy for $750 that I'm temped to grab. But I think I wait until I take some time off and visit some guitar shops in the area and play LOT's of Tele's - with great restraint!

LOL!......I discovered the fest on Thursday morning when I picked up rental car because mine was in the shop. I was programing the radio, while I was driving. Nice sine tones. I had to make a turn and I heard this percussive click. Must be Ryoji Ikeda, I thought. It wasn't. I was hearing the left blinker. I heard some the Derek Bailey segments later on too. I enjoyed that too. Is it music? Is there any point asking at this late date? For some it is and for some it isn't. I remember the noise fest. It was alright. There were points where I turned the radio off and listened to what I wanted to hear out of my own collection. You have that option too.

An old favortite...

I have the DVD but really need to check it out again. I dig what Derek plays, I like him better with the Allmans. The material his band his band uses is kinda weak IMHO.
